Summary of Commission Practice 

Relating to Administrative Protective 

Orders 

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade 

Commission. 

ACTION: Summary of Commission 

practice relating to administrative 

protective orders. 

SUMMARY: Since February 1991, the U.S. 

International Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has published in the 

Federal Register reports on the status of 

its practice with respect to breaches of 

its administrative protective orders 

(‘‘APOs’’) under title VII of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 in response to a direction 

contained in the Conference Report to 

the Customs and Trade Act of 1990. 

Over time, the Commission has added to 

its report discussions of APO breaches 

in Commission proceedings other than 

under title VII and violations of the 

Commission’s rules, including the rule 

on bracketing business proprietary 

information (the ‘‘24-hour rule’’) title 19 

of the Code of Federal Regulations. This 

notice provides a summary of APO 

breach investigations completed during 

fiscal year 2024. This summary 

addresses APO breach investigations 

related to proceedings under both title 

VII and section 337 of the Tariff Act of 

1930. The Commission intends for this 

summary to inform representatives of 

parties to Commission proceedings of 

the specific types of APO breaches 

before the Commission and the 

corresponding types of actions that the 

Commission has taken. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa 

Barton, Secretary to the Commission, 

U.S. International Trade Commission,

and Procedure. Such statutory and
